He re tain his former places on industrial, expositions and revision of law. Illegal and void. The Oregonlan says; Tliat amendments to the Portland city charter, voted at the municipal election of June 3, last, authorizing Improvement bond Issues aggregat- ng 15,225,000, were Illegally enacted and are void. Is the tenor of tho de cision that will be made by John H. Cleland, Judge of the State Circuit Court for Multnomah County. The finding affect not only the bond Is sues, but also the following charter amendments: Providing for the Im provement of street by districts; re monstrance of four-fith of the property-owners to defeat street Improve ments; regulation of delinquent prop erty sale; creation of the office of corgeant of police; annexation of ad ditional territory to the city, and the assessment of abutting property for the laying of water main. This far-reaching decision, one of the most Important ever rendered in a local court. Is In the case filed by I. McKenna to test the legality of the bond Issue and other charter amend mendts. The comprint was filed only against the amendment author izing the Issue of $3,000,000 of water bond and the assessment of property for mains. Thla wa a friendly suit brought on the advice of Seneca Smith, and the purpose waa to test the legality of all charter amendments adopted at the June election, but law yers agree that the ruling will apply to all the measures with the same force as to the water bond provision, and if the State Supreme Court sus tains Judge Cleland, all the Improve ments contemplated and legislation voted must await the favorable ac tion of the electors at the next regu lar election, or at an election specially called. The decision of Judge Cleland ha not yet been handed down, and will case, the court has made Its position known. This action was necessary in order that Important municipal busi ness might proceed in accordance with the ruling on the amendmenta. The invalidity of the water bond amendment, and consequently of all others, aa interpreted by Judge Cle land, is due to the irregular manner In which the measure were presented for a vote of the people. These amendments were all placed on the ballot by resolution passed by the Council. In his decision Judge Cleland will hold that the Council had no authority for the action. Such legis lations, to be legal, he will rule, must be inaugurated by petitions signed by legal voters of the municipality. PROPOSED CHANGE IN CONSTITUTION The Grangers wish to have the fol lowing amendment to the State con stitution passed: Section 22a, The Legislative As sembly shall not, directly or indirect ly, repeal, or amend, or in anywise modify any act or law enacted by the people or legal voters of the State of Oregon In the exercise of the Initia tive power reserved to them by this Constitution; the power to repeal, amend or modify any such act or law to be and remain exclusively in the legal voters of the State.
